Josh Adams, C.B. South product, has played his way to the top of Eagles’ depth chart

Spoiler alert for you ground-and-pound devotees who are hoping against hope that the Eagles will play ball-control football Sunday and run the ball 30 to 35 times against the high-scoring Saints.

The game likely will turn into a track meet very early, with Doug Pederson relying on Carson Wentz and the Eagles' passing game to try to keep pace with Drew Brees and the Saints, who are averaging a league-best 36.6 points per game.

If and when the Eagles do run the ball Sunday, though, the guy who will get first dibs is Josh Adams.

The undrafted rookie from Notre Dame by way of Central Bucks South appears, at least for the moment, to have moved ahead of Wendell Smallwood and Corey Clement in the running-back pecking order after impressive performances against Jacksonville and Dallas.
